Effect of Plant Matrix and Fluid Ethanol Concentration on Supercritical Fluid Extraction Efficiency of Schisandrin Derivatives Youngleem Kim, Young Hae Choi, Young-Won Chin, Young Pyo Jang, Young Choong Kim, Jinwoong Kim, Jin Yeol Kim, Seung Nam Joung, Min Jeong Noh, and Ki-Pung YooAn investigation of the effect of plant matrix on the supercritical fluid extraction efficiency of five schisandrin derivatives is reported, exhibiting a great difference with respect to extraction efficiency depending on the matrix. Pure supercritical CO2 at 60°C and 34.0 MPa cannot fully recover schisandrin derivatives from the leaves as much as from the other matrices. Only 36.9% of these compounds are extracted from leaves of Schisandra chinensis by supercritical CO2 in comparison with organic solvent extraction. However, more than 80% of schisandrin derivatives are obtained from both stem and fruit parts. Ethanol addition also shows a different effect depending on plant matrix; that is, CO2 modified with 10% ethanol could enhance the yield of schisandrin derivatives from leaves by four times when compared with that of pure CO2, but it has little effect on both stems and fruits.
